Another heuchera that doesn't photograph well. It's a very vigorous grower with large leaves. The leaves have pretty variegation in the winter.

I know heuchera are supposed to be deer "resistant," but the local deer ate every last leaf at a neighbor's home.

Nice spring color, turns olive green in the summer. New growth in the fall is similar to spring color. Grows quickly once it's in a happy place.

Is the height given for foliage + flower or just the foliage 'mound'? Thanks for help.
